The economy blows. Even if unemployment is finally getting down to where it was in 2008, the new jobs are burger flipping jobs that don't pay nearly as well as lost jobs.
and whose fault was it that we lost those jobs to begin with?you can say it we all know the answer.
And the only reason we got unemployment down was because we took on a mountain of debt.
if you credit the bad things that happen under O's presidency to him then he gets credit for the good news as well. - Capish?
And we are STILL borrowing huge amounts of money with NO end in sight.
Still trying to climb out of the culture that Bush created
The stock market is dropping and it is beginning to look like we (Obama) just created another bubble.
LOL beginning to look like? The stock market is nothing but a see-saw my friend we have good cycles and bad ones.
The tech bubble economy collapsed at the end of Clinton's watch, NOT Bush's watch. Clinton got out of office just in time.
LOL. ok
Obama may get lucky, too. The economy may go in the tank again just as he is leaving office and mouth breathers like you will blame it on his successor.
May go into ? but it's not he's doing just fine despite you hoping the worse for this Nation.
And how on earth do you get the idea that Obama has restored our standing in the world? When was the last time you read a newspaper?
Two words > Comparative analysis.
The so-called "Arab Spring" has turned to shit and Obama has gotten us back into military involvement in the Muslim world instead of getting us out like he promised. He is now called the "Drone President".
Lol - He's being a leader and protecting the nation as the Republican chicken hawks so clamor for all the time.
Russia has gone back to invading satellite countries.
No biggie he's marginalized Putin and so Putin is acting out. Continue to support Putin because he will need it. Thus far you Republicans have done an OUTSTANDING job of supporting Putin. Maybe yall looked into his soul and saw that he had a good heart like Bush did.
And Iran has out maneuvered him and is about to get the bomb. We are now relying on the Iranians to deal with ISIS, so we have lost leverage against Iran's nukes.
Only in the mind of a rabid righty has this occurred.
If Obama had ignored ISIS and told Iran, Syria and Turkey that it was their problem, those countries would be asking US for help. And we could tell Iran to get rid of its nukes in return for weapons to defeat ISIS. Instead, WE are making concessions to THEM.
LOL. You know jack shit about geo-politics and it shows. Fact is had Bush not invaded Iraq none of this would be occurring. Saddam for as bad as he was kept Iran in check and served as an unintended Allie of the US. You have the mind set of a rookie. What are you playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess. Due to Bush's ineptness Iran is a separate issue to be dealt with OK moron?

You quoted me directly, and then addressed that partisan little diatribe to "you guys." But I am neither a Republican, nor a supporter of the very bad 2001-2006 economic policy agenda.
It certainly appears that you're far more interested in seeing Republicans steamrollered than you are in seeing a better policy agenda enacted.
JD Barleycorn and Whirlaway, just to name two, can confirm that I have often called out disingenuous partisan B.S. -- from both sides! Originally Posted by CaptainMidnight
